I am a professional roofing contractor with 20 years experience in the industry and I can tell you that the average per sq ft cost of a roofing job is based on a few factors. For starters, the quality of the shingle you choose is the biggest determinant. If go with a more expensive metal shingle, then the cost of your re-roofing job will more than double. If you stick with a typical asphalt shingle with a normal warranty, then your price is cheaper. Apart from that, labor is the next biggest cost which usually costs about double the price of the materials themselves. If you a bonded and insured roofing company who has been in the business for many years and stands by their products with their own installation warranty, then you should expect to pay around 5-8 per square foot for a job well done.

If you are looking for a new roofing construction estimate, I would advise that you contact a few roof contractors and set up an appointment to come to your house. You can use the internet for general research and ideas, and a ballpark figure of what it should cost, but a real company is going to have to come out and see your house in person for the most accurate quote. I will say this, don`t try to save money by choosing cheaper roofing materials and low cost shingles. It is better to spend more now so that you`ll spend less later. Try to go for a 30 or 40 year warranty roof and make sure they do solid flashing work. Ask them exactly what kinds of materials they will use for each job. And ask to see their insurance policy.

A new residential roof on a new build will cost slightly different than a replacement roof, since there is extra labor involved in tearing off the old roof when it is being replaced. But a new job should run you from $2.50 and up per square foot for materials. Asphalt shingles are the cheapest, while fiberglass is a little more money and lasts longer. Metal roofs are the next step up in price, as these long-lasting roofs are priced at $10 per sq ft and higher. You can also get a quote on the price of roofing materials per square, which is a 10x10 foot (100 square feet) of shingles, as this is how most are sold.

Asphalt shingles will cost you anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 per square ft. Add labor costs of installation to that price of about double and you can get a rough estimate of how much a new roof costs. Higher grade roofing materials like steel shingles or clay tiles have greater price tags. Also, flashing and chimney work are additional charges. You should also know that if you hire a roofer, make sure he is bonded and insured so that you have recourse if things go wrong. Ask your roofing contractor for proof of current insurance, like a photocopy of his certificate with his company`s name on it.

The square footage you mentioned, is that for the roof itself of the house? A lot of people mistakenly think that the way to estimate a new roofing job is to simple multiple a number by the home`s square footage. But this is not an accurate assessment, since it`s the surface area of the roof that matters, and this is not just based on the size of the house but the number of stories, the pitch and peaks, the number of chimneys, etc. The costs of roofing can get real expensive really fast if there is a lot of intricate flashing work that is needed.

Is this a new roof for a new home construction or a re-roofing job on an existing house? The pricing would be different. Also, depends where you live as the local weather conditions can play a big role in determining the type and quality of roofing materials you will need. A new roof can cost anywhere from a few thousand to tens of thousands. Number of stories, pitch, type of shingles, all of these things come into play. Call a roofer in your area that is rated good by the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and get a free estimate.

When considering cost of a new roof, remember than total installation price includes labor, materials and warranty. Make sure you get a quote that is all-inclusive and that there are no surprises. Roofing materials usually carry a manufacturer`s limited warranty (from 5 to 30 yrs) and sometimes the installer will add his own warranty on the labor, so be sure to inquire about this. Find a good local roofing contractor with many years of experience and make sure they have a good rating with the Better Business Bureau BBB.

A new roof on a 2000 sq ft house would probably cost you about $15000. But it depends on how large the surface area of your roof actually is, and the slope and pitch of the roof. The roofing materials used matter when determining cost as well. So many factors to consider. Call a roofing contractor in your area, or check out some construction cost website for more information.

Average roofing costs vary from 40 to 100 per square foot. It is cheaper if you have a one story house with a low pitch roof and more if your house is a two-story with a higher pitch (slope). Asphalt shingles cost the least and only last about 15 to 20 years. Metal roofing and concrete tiles cost more and, of course, last longer. Call a roofing company over to give you an estimate. Actually, call three roofing companies and get 3 estimates.
